It seems like Apple switching to Intel would be a support nightmare. Between people hosing their system by running BSD or Linux binaries and people swapping in PC hardware, it could be very, very ugly.
this seems ok, but when i go to college i, like many students, will be using a laptop. but i want to have a good surround sound system to plug into in my dorm room and possibly do some rudimentary guitar recording. is the SB extigy any good? are there other solutions like it that run on usb or firewire on a laptop? game performance is not the #1 concern (that's why god created the xbox and ps2)
Damn sellouts... I bought an X-Box banking on GTA3 coming out for it (the release date was Spring 2002 at once point). Then Sony had to go and pay them obscene amounts of payoff money (heh much like in their games, talk about twilight zone)
Imagine the bad publicity games would receive if a worm on the scale of Slammer had been created
If there's as many Unreal Servers as MS SQL servers and as many firewalls forwarding the ports, then something's just not right with the internet world...
Then again, many things are not right with the internet world [shrugs]
This is awesome. My school has been offering all 4 semesters of the CCNA course for the past 2 years, so I'm going through it. Although people say it's a "jokey class" compared to BC Calculus or even our school's C and C++ classes, I think it is amazing.
The one downside is that the kids are learning more than what the IT staff knows... because they haven't taken the CCNA yet! So sooner or later some kid is gonna telnet into a piece of hardware that doesn't have a password or something and make a mess...
RHCE would be awesome, but I would feel bad having so many people crowd into the secret linux society:P
Ralsky, meanwhile, is looking at new technology. Recently he's been talking to two computer programmers in Romania who have developed what could be called stealth spam.
It is intricate computer software, said Ralsky, that can detect computers that are online and then be programmed to flash them a pop-up ad, much like the kind that display whenever a particular Web site is opened.
"This is even better," he said. "You don't have to be on a Web site at all. You can just have your computer on, connected to the Internet, reading e-mail or just idling and, bam, this program detects your presence and up pops the message on your screen, past firewalls, past anti-spam programs, past anything.
"Isn't technology great?"
I'm sorry, but this just made me lose it. The day this happens (yeah I know it's pretty unlikely with the whole non-circumventableness he claims) I will gladly join the new SETI@HOME/Distributed.net alliance: DDOS Ralsky operations... hell, I'd buy computers to commit to the project. He complains about getting spam letters... well if he does this I think people should start egging his frigging house (they just "pop" up on his Windows!)
That brings up an interesting question for a Canadian. What do prostitutes fall under for tax reasons in the US? Is there a special section for them on the tax forms? Do they have to pay extra money to the state for the extra health problems they cause? (STDs etc.)
Hmm, the important questions

Three hundred Linux desktops at Dreamworks. That's amazing!
I wonder if they use KDE or Gnome? Emacs or vi? Mozilla or Konqueror? I'm in need of a role-model!
If folks can get a better, faster, cheaper online experience by ditching AOL, they'll do it in a heartbeat.'
Looks like their marketing campaign is working--you along with millions of others still think that there's no better, faster, cheaper online service than AOL...
AppleWorks (previously called ClarisWorks) pales in comparison to Microsoft Office XP. There's no equivalent for the versatility of Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint®. Toolbars and menus customize themselves to the way I work. I wouldn't know how to function without the Track Changes and Comments features of Word. I adore the Office Clipboard, which copies multiple elements from one file and pastes them into another.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 does more for me than Netscape Navigator ever did, and I am a surfing addict. Searches are faster; the History feature makes it easier to find that site from last week; and I can name and organize my Favorites any way I want.
(Just incase M$ deletes the site)
I find it more amusing that despite AppleWorks being a little less feature-rich than Office XP, it is about $300 cheaper (as in $0 for Apple to $300 for Office).
And of course there's the fact that M$ sells Office X for Mac, and Internet Explorer is the default browser for OS X. I can guarantee that the entire M$ advertising team that proofed that page isn't even aware of this fact.
The point? I dunno about everyone else, but every day I'm getting closer and closer to wanting a Mac as my main PC (and by PC I mean PC, not Server;))
Good, now the music I feel is good enough to buy will sound better. All you software developers quit yer yackin, cuz you guys prolly hate piracy just as much. The fact of the matter is, everyone steals everything, be it music, software, or wheels of cheese, but the economy doesn't collapse because people still buy the products they strongly like.
Sure that may be true, but caffeine will also shorten your life a hell of a lot. Maybe people who drank caffeine just died before they had a chance to get alzheimers...

But everyone knows that a giant dildo-shaped unobtanium nuclear-powered omnibus thingy would work much, much better!
because it's cheaper than an iPod! They (AK-47s) apparently go for only about $2-$3 on the Iraqi market, says CNN.
imagine a buffer overflow attack on this thing? ewwwwww, gross!!!
imagine a beowulf ddos attack on M$ (errr... i mean unintentional sql virus) of these...
Can anyone say IPO?

Nah, it's correct. In the spirit of Planck they correctly accounted for the transformation from numbers to waves to particles and back.

You mean CECS, right? As in Chief Executive College Student???
Who needs FatWallet when you can you can have the much better FatMouse?

It's Marconi, not Marcoli. Otherwise, you're got it :-)

IE randomly locks up on me all the time in XP when I open new windows (I always open links in new windows, leaving 20 windows open).
Oh well, guess it's time to give Moz for win32 another try, test out those new "tabs"
Gee, I better keep this in mind next time I sit my naked arse on my computer. Oh, wait...
